Migrating legacy .NET application with Microsoft Azure

Most organisations have a range of legacy applications many of which are written in .NET. Moving these applications to the cloud has a range of benefits, providing great accessibility, performance and resilience.

In this article we will discuss the best way to modernise .NET applications by migrating to Microsoft Azure.

There are 3 main migration approaches to modernising .NET application using Microsoft Azure. Each migration approach has a different range of costs and benefits and a different amount of work required to migrate to that service.

When picking the best approach for your application it is important to remember that you need to decide what requirements are important to you. It is also important to consider that each approach isn’t unique and you can design a hybrid approach that takes different elements of each approach for different components of your application.
